Came across the following comments and Temasek Times blundered here.

We trust WP said

WP had brought up issues about employees and workers every year but every year PAP gives same answer with PAP statistics and the cycle repeats.
Did not PAP rebuff idea of Minimum Wage every year when WP brought it up ?
WP did bring up issues about workers but Media never broadcast it. Go WP FB and WP website to read up. If you never read, how you know WP never bring up?

(Temasek Times) Mod’s note: It’s not the quantity but the quality of opposition MPs which matter. When WP has only one MP in the past, its apologists said they can’t do anything. Now with 8 MPs in parliament, have they been speaking up more? Still as timid and quiet like a church mouse, so what makes you think having another 10 or 20 more WP MPs will make a difference? The ‘wayang’ will continue as usual. WP is the PAP’s last line of defence in the event of a freak election. That’s why the ‘Wayang Party’ has been keeping quiet to avoid antagonizing its political masters.

Notice what is wrong with TT's reply. Despite having brought up many issues, WP has never been the forefront of minimum wage, much less bring up the issue every year. I have heard about minimum wage from SDP and RP more than WP. This WP supporter has made the mistake that TT could gun for easily.

Yet in TT's reply, he did not realize this and rebut this point. Instead they sidestepped the comment with their usual template replies. Looking carefully, this website is trying to send and plant subliminal messages into readers heads. To keep repeating simple statements like "WP = PAP". "WP = quiet". "Vote WP = Vote PAP". Clearly it is psychology they are using here.

Pritam has also never made that statement that TT quoted.
